Useful today
A session for the workday in front of you, not a calendar full of future plans.
Taavo / Founder note
I’m building the product I wanted as a remote worker.
I’m Ryel Banfield, founder of Taavo and RCB Software LLC. Remote work can make working alone feel normal, even when you’re surrounded by people. Sometimes you just want someone to work beside — without a formal networking event or a week of planning. Taavo makes that easier, starting in Medellín.
The problem
01 / 03Being around people is not the same as knowing who to work beside.
Some days you want deep focus. Other days, a good table and a few people nearby make the workday better. Taavo is built around that small, ordinary gap: finding someone to work beside when you want company, without turning it into a whole event.
Why public, low-pressure coworking
A table is enough.
Taavo helps remote workers, founders, freelancers and others find someone to work alongside today at public, work-friendly venues. It is not a dating app, networking event platform or directory — it is a low-pressure way to see who is working and choose a session that fits.

Why Medellín first
Start close enough to matter.
People need to be close enough to actually meet. Starting around Laureles and Poblado lets Taavo focus on the first real group showing up, finding one another and working together. That local beginning is part of the product, not just a launch detail.
How I’m building it
Keep the useful part simple.
Human by design
Work side by side with real people without performing online.
Local first
Build one community with real density before expanding the map.
